The Zizhi tongjian records Empress Jia being put to death at Jinyong City in 300.
What this does and does not establish
Wikisource revision 1551757, juan 83. Row 101 dates the occurrence jihai; its fourth-month context follows row 83. Rows 85–87 distinguish her earlier deposition and transfer from this subsequent death.

- Kind of record
- Placed in a year. A source places this in one year. It is listed under that year; no day precision is invented.
How it is dated
- Date reference
- Yongkang 1, fourth lunar month, jihai day
- How we use it
- Year-level placement is limited to the dated source entry.
The date reference is this project’s reading of the source’s date. It may give an era name, a reign or a calendar in a normalised form rather than in the source’s own words; the dating notes say what the source prints.
Dating notes from the research record
Read zztj083.wikitext heading at row 65 and surrounding rows 83–103: fourth month begins with xinmao new moon, followed by guisi, jiawu, dingyou and the jihai death entry, before the fifth-month heading. Read rows 31–32 and month/day cells of sinica-300-01-08.html and sinica-300-12-27.html. Their dates equate AD 300 January 8 with Yuankang 9, jiwei, month 12 day 1, and AD 300 December 27 with Yongkang 1, gengshen, month 11 day 30. Fourth-month Yongkang 1 is therefore within civil AD 300; no competing court calendar is involved. Original quotation begins at line 101, character 7216.
File names and line numbers in these notes, and in the limits above, refer to the project’s retained copies of the cited sources. Names such as calendar_headers are the project’s calendar look-ups, and “the investigator” is the research step that prepared the record.
